My email program is great. The only thing I have to watch out for is when I reply to the forum messages. In my email, it will automatically reply to the person who sent the message. In this case, I have to override that each time I wish to respond to a message on the forum. This can be hard to watch out for, and I admit that I've had two errors in the past because I forgot to change the reply address or I clicked on the wrong button (SORRY DR. HARVEY--I FELT BAD ABOUT THOSE!!) Perhaps if the "From" address was totally omitted or changed to the obgyn.net address???
